The CheapJeep

ching gow how did yall work with all them chains hanging everywhere

[AggieTJ2007]

most of the time it was up in the air, and we would set the chains on the bumpers, The bars got in the way more than the chains, esp trying to weld on the perches

Thanks Coop for posting the pics and for this weekend, I owe you many many times over. Hope your up for doing it again.

Got my power steering box today from Roberto..

Just got word that I now have dibs on the 35" Claws that I'm picking up this weekend from a guy in Spring. Seems like everyday I get a couple things on the rig taken care of. Kickass!

[CheapJeep]

Alright here's an update. No pics yet.
-Tom Wood's driveshaft should be here today
-BTF drag link and shims should be here by end of this week
-Claws are mounted and on the Jeep, didn't get time to get any pics when I was home
-Full custom cage going on next week hopefully
Then it'll be time to wheel the biatch.

I re-installed the gas tank and skidplates today...pretty unproductive if you ask me. I spent the morning finishing up a paper and cleaning out stalls. Then got after the Jeep and noticed that NAPA didn't give me all my u-bolts. I ordered a set that's supposed to be here tomorrow morning. BTW I ended up buying a set of 3" lift blocks while I was at Autozone and installed them on my truck, the stock one's are 2"s so it's only an inch higher but should help keep the rear from sagging as much when I tow heavy loads and give me the "rake" look. I'll have pics up tomorrow of the heap with the new Claws and such.

the rake look is gay

[CheapJeep]

Oh no. I said I though putting the blocks in would give it that look, but in fact it only leveled the back end out. I noticed while I was on my way home that the rear was sagging a bit, asked my buddy when he rode with me and he thought the same. Now it just sits level....Dammit, I can never get it right.

[AggieTJ2007]

you need some 6 inch blocks and some 38 gumbo mudders on the back of that truck

but where are the pictures./....

[Shaggy]

i got the 6" blocks if you wanna do it... i say do it

[CheapJeep]

Ok just got inside from the shop. I didn't get any pics yet cuz I was too busy running down parts and working. I'll have some tomorrow.
Here's what I got done today-
-Brake lines hooked up
-U-bolts and spring plates bolted down (I had to run to the NAPA warehouse to get the right ones cuz they not only f'd up on my order in C.S. but also here in Conroe .
-Welded bolt threads onto front right side for spring plate and finished that up.
Welded skidplate for gas tank back on.(PITA to try and get it to fit back in there)
Tomorrow I'll have pics after I install the rear driveshaft. On a side note, I'm pretty steamed after what Bluetorch has done, I ordered a drag link and shims over a week ago and called on Wedsday to see where it was and found out that they lied and didn't ship it like they had said...they hadn't even made it. I gave them the measurements again and they said they'd ship it out the same day but I've yet to recieve anything....so no drag link or shims. At least the Jeep's ready to get the cage and steering done. Hell I might just have them make a drag link. Like I said pics tomorrow, it's a big ***** for sure, I had more trouble getting in and out of it than I did when I rode in Jordan's at 47.

WTF??? Don't you remember, we extended the wheelbase at least 6"s? It is pretty wide though, I think I'm the only one with true full width's on a Jeep in the club, cj's and jordan's have scout 44's right?
